Thought I’d throw this out there as a fyi.
I have a MinnKota PC MK 330 three bank charger that I use for my trolling motor battery. A few times when I had lead acid batteries, and now that I have LiFePO batteries I thought that there was a problem with the charger.. I did everything I could think of as it was not charging at the rate I thought it should.
Turns out its just how fast the charger works. With my 100Ah LiFePO batteries and a discharge of 80% or thereabouts, it takes roughly 12-14 hours to charge them up fully. Most people would probably not use their set like I use mine wherein I will be on the lake day after day, getting home around 10 at night then up at 0430 and ready to head out again. To solve this issue I’m going to install three Victron battery chargers that have a charge rate of 10 or 25A. The 25A charge rate should make short work of the 80ah discharge.
Just wanted to let anyone know that may be pulling their hair out trying to solve the same problem.
